Custom Code tune on my Polo
thought I'd do a quick review of this.
I've had a TDI piggy back tune before, which was a fuel only tune, made good power and the improvements were very apparent in the mid range, where the torque would come on like a freight train, but it still retained the weaker top end of the stock tune. Loved this tune to bits, but decided to go CC as they will support me with further mods down the track.
The CC tune is a different beast. Fuel and boost is mapped in this flash tune and it is exceedingly linear throughout the rev range and very smooth. The surge I used to experience with the old chip is gone, as is the slight surge I used to get with the stock tune. Now pulls cleanly from low RPM and won't stop pull until red line. This continues in every gear!
I'm yet to try the new CC tune out on the highway where the previous tune excelled. You could nail it in 5th at 100km'h and it would provide effortless overtaking. So I will reserve judgement on this part of the tune for later.
Initial impressions are great however and its nice to be back in a tuned TDI again, I just dont know how I went a few months without it.
It could always use more power, but that will have to wait until a larger turbo is installed. Until then however, FMIC and custom intake will be tackled first, along with an EGR delete pipe.
Thought I'd share. Since I think I'm the only Polo on here with Custom Code.
I reccommend it. If your Polo TDI or GTI isn't chip tuned yet, feel free to give me a yell and I'll take you for a blast around the block. Don't overlook CC in your search for a tune. Competitive pricing and a power increase thats very useable and grin inducing.
